Everyone, including myself, seems absolutely zonked the last week or so. It’s that time of the semester when exams and essays threaten to take over our lives and the workload is almost too much to bear. People are just a little crankier than usual and a whole lot more apathetic. Understandably so.
Anyway, there is a silver lining to our collective mid-semester rain cloud—SPRING BREAK! Just think, in ten days or so, you’ll be lying on a white sand beach, sipping frozen beverages with teensy umbrellas, and reading trashy novels while working on your tan. Oh, you’re not having an island get-a-way this March? Well, neither am I actually. No matter. Whatever you have scheduled (perhaps scheduling nothing at all might be the best way to spend the week), let’s keep in mind that a little break is just around the corner. Maybe that can help us all stay somewhat focused and maintain our sanity.
Speaking of this upcoming break, we have to figure out what’s on our class’s agenda for Thursday, March 13th. As of now, our schedule reads “Surprise!” for that day. No, I’m not throwing a surprise party for everyone. But we can pretty much take that day to do something fun and not strictly related to the standard English 105 curriculum. Personally, I’m always up for food, costumes, and game--you know, bobbing for apples, musical chairs, charades and the like. The floor is open to nominations and a vote. If you have an idea post it here and we’ll pick one or hybridize a few into a non-rhetorical-analyzing, thesis-free day!

I know a place with a great liquor and beer selection. It will add a whole new dimension of challenge while dealing with the English language.
Food and games would be fun... I would be willing to bring something in such as a dessert.
